"I took three grandsons, ages 9-11, on a four hour trip. We had lots of fun. The Captain went to 3 different locations to look for good fishing. We caught baby sharks, which the kids found very thrilling. The staff on board were very helpful, and were able to remove each fish from the hook. I plan to go again."

"Great time had by all. I’ve fished on their trips in the past and never disappointed! This was my youngest son’s first deep sea trip, although he got motion sickness, the crew was helpful to him and he ended up enjoying himself! Always make the boat limits each time out. Deck hands were great and on top of everything! Will be again time permitting!"

"We try to go Deep Sea Fishing at least once a year. We were going to a competitor but thought we should try Williams Party Boats last year. This was our 2nd time coming now and the experience has been great. The crew is polite and helpful and the captain always finds a way to get us on the fish. I can't say enough good things about the experience and the memories made."

"The service is great. The things that most people need to look at that took me time to realize that this is fishing not catching. I have been out with this company many times. The staff is great and fishing is fishing."

Galveston Inshore Fishing Charters

The most popular fishing in Galveston is undoubtedly bay fishing, or inshore fishing for the Lone Star State slam: redfish , speckled trout , and flounder . Our Galveston fishing guides love their immediate fishing access to West Bay and San Luis Pass, East Galveston Bay, Trinity Bay up north at the mouth of the Trinity River, and the Houston Ship Channel, a deep channel running from Houston through Galveston Bay, through the Galveston jetties, and out to the Gulf of Mexico. Leaving from Galveston mainstays like the Galveston Yacht Basin and Galveston Bait & Tackle, your guide will have their pick of the little across these prime fishing spots, all a short run from launch. Redfish fishing is truly fantastic year-round given Galveston Bay’s thriving population of healthy reds. While summer fishing for redfish is Red Hot, the best time to chase reds is August through November as redfish gorge on shrimp, mullet, shad, and crabs ahead of the colder winter months. Redfish can be caught using live bait, dead bait, artificial lures, and even on the fly in Galveston’s shallow backwaters. If requested after bookings, our guides will provide bait to make sure they’re chomping on what you’re throwing. Speckled Trout fishing is also world-class across Galveston Bay, and West Bay specifically is quietly becoming one of the best spots on the entire Gulf to catch an elusive 30-inch trout. Speckled trout feeding habits match the seasonality of redfish, and can be caught year-round with August through September being best. Another fan favorite in the Galveston area is the flounder. Galveston flounder fishing is truly world renowned thanks to the fall and spring runs where thousands of flounder migrate their way into Galveston Bay and back out to offshore waters. In addition to these headliner target species, Galveston is home to Black Drum and a wide variety of ferocious shark species. All of the above species congregate to feed at the Galveston jetties, making these 4-hour trips some of our most popular across the board. View All Galveston Inshore Fishing Charters

OUR REVIEWS

RIGHT ON THE FISH

Me and my three boys went out today absolute best time! We started off slow but Capt Zack knew just where to go and put us on the fish. He was very friendly and fun to be with. Already planning for next trip!

— Johnny Olson; Houston, TX

THE BEST EXPERIENCE

Jason was our guide and he was awesome, we had a blast and would highly recommend him...he was very courteous and very respectful of my being fearful of the water. This was the best experience!

— Charlene Scudday

ABSOLUTELY SUPER

Had an absolutely super time last weekend. We went for the 5 hour jetty and bay fishing trip. We caught about 25-30 pieces of fish including Croaker, Whiting, Catfish and Shark - including a 40 lb,4 ft big sand shark whom we released after catching. I was really impressed by the care the staff took to ensure that everyone of us was really enjoying the trip. His knowledge and attention to detail was simply great! Lot of attention to properly filleting the fish as well after .

Testimonials.

Capt. Travis and Travis were some stand up guys. They made it an experience and it was obvious they were the superiors around here. They were down to earth and made it feel like they were on vacation with us. Made it like we were fishing with friends. We reached limit on two different fish, caught fish all day long, and they were above average size fish. Capt. Greg gave us incredible prices on the last day of snapper season. We will never step on another charter and plan on making this a family tradition. Don't sell yourself short by going with others, wave dancers is exactly what you're looking for.

Captain Taylor now that I am back home all I can think about is the time I spent with you and Gunnar and my Family last week . I am forever Greatful to have had the pleasure of meeting both of you men your knowledge of the sea the kindness you showed us made our charter absolutely the best time spent out on the ocean I can not imagine doing another charter out of Galveston with out you guys good luck and until next time God Bless!

We had the best time with Capt Travis and his deck hand Travis! They were so much fun and we had a blast!!! We caught a lot of fish! They worked hard to get us on the fish and made sure my son had the time of his life! This trip was his graduation present. I would recommend Wave Dancer charters to ANYONE! We will def be back for more fishing fun! A class act fishing boat. You won't be disappointed! Already planning another trip for my birthday!!!

Wave Dancer Charters In The News! Today we’d like to introduce you to Capt. Greg Ball.

Click Here to read the full article.

Capt. Greg, can you briefly walk us through your story – how you started and how you got to where you are today.

How did you start wave dancer galveston fishing charters.

I started fishing the Gulf of Mexico at a very young age at about 4 years old with my father Don Ball. He would take me on offshore fishing trips with him all the time. I loved fishing so much and growing up on the Gulf coast, at a young age I wanted my own boat. My dad told me when I was 12 years old that If I could make the money to buy my own boat that I could have one. So I started working for the newspaper as a paper boy and mowed grass and anything else I could do to make a little money and within a year at age 13 I had my own boat. Me and my buddies would fish lots of afternoons after school and weekends and I still fished at least once or twice a week with my dad all though high school. I graduated high school and worked selling cars for my dad at his new car dealership, then opened a used car lot myself and a new boat dealership. I had also been buying rental property all along and in 1995 I got out of sales and went into nothing but buying, remodeling and renting real estate and flipping houses. That was a great job until hurricane’s Rita in 2005 and Ike in 2008 came along and wiped out almost everything I had. I prayed about what to do and was led to sell everything I had and buy a big Hatteras sports fishing yacht and start fishing. One thing led to another and my Stepson Taylor Borel and I were talking one day and decided that we should go to captain’s school and get our license and start doing offshore fishing charters for a living and that would give us extra money to go fishing for ourselves too. He was 19 or 20 at the time and had gone fishing with me since he was a small child and we had plenty of sea time to get our 100 ton Master Captains License, so we did just that. We started our company in 2011 with that one boat and now we have 3 in our fleet and two are federally permitted to run up to 80 or so miles offshore with up to 6 fisherman on board. I have always been told that you will never work a day in your life if you love what you do. This is that kind of job, we work 7 long days a week 365 days a year (well we do take off for Christmas and Easter) but it is the most awesome job in the world, watching people fight and land lots of huge fish and see how happy they become and proud of themselves. We help people make their dreams come true and check fish caught off their bucket list. We get to do lots of charity events for the less fortunate, handicapped, disabled children and adults, and we get to meet the best people in the world while fishing.

Overall, has it been relatively smooth? If not, what were some of the struggles along the way?

It’s been fairly smooth with a few bumps along the way with expense of maintenance and upkeep on the boats. Because we run almost every day of the year and almost 500 charters a year on 3 boats you can imagine that we have lots of upkeep. In 2015 we bought all new motors for our boats and it’s been a lot easier and less expensive ever since we did that. The other problem is with anything you do, there are laws, state and federal and the same goes with Charter for Hire fishing. We have been battling the state and the federal government for years on fish stocks and leaving our seasons open longer or giving us some more days and let us fish them when the weather is good. It’s been a hard battle but we are starting to win and things are getting lots better. We joined the Charter Fisherman Association and they are on the right track to getting everything worked out for us to have more fishing days. The only other real struggle that we have is Mother Nature. We get trips booked and then can’t run them for bad weather and then we lose a day of work because of it. Other than those few things it’s smooth sailing most of the time.

Please tell us about Wave Dancer Charters.

Our business in fishing and fishing is good!! We specialize in taking people out to have a lifelong and memorable experience on the water by catching lots of fish and/or big fish. We take families with kids, Men and Woman, experienced and novice fisherman, we teach while we catch fish if they have never fished before. We also do multi boat trips for large groups, bachelor parties and cooperate events. We do near shore/close offshore charters for a half day or full day year round and we do Shark fishing trips and then we specialize in Deep Sea and Blue Water trips for lots of species of big fish. We were the top 2 boats out of 3 places on the whole Texas coast for Red Snapper landings last year. Our 2 federally permitted boats landed more Red Snapper than any boats on the whole Texas coast. We have been voted best of Galveston 2013, 2014, and 2015 and Capt. Taylor Borel and myself Capt. Greg Ball have been voted best Capt. almost every year since we started this company. We are set apart from others because this is a full-time job for us, we live it every day, even when we don’t have customers on the boat we are fishing and finding or making new spots to fish. We have the best kept boats in the Galveston fleet with all new and updated equipment, new engines, life rafts, satellite phones on all boats, satellite tracking device with email and text from anywhere in the gulf and all new fishing tackle every year. We also have the most knowledgeable deckhands on our boats to help our customers on every trip as well so that they will have the most enjoyable experience ever while aboard our boats.

Types of Fish We Catch in Galveston, TX

When it comes to saltwater fish, Galveston, Texas stands out as one of the hottest hot spots in the world. It’s convenient location near the Gulf of Mexico gives it an added advantage as being one of the best places with a wide variety of fish species. Check out our charter ratings on TripAdvisor!

In-shore Fish Species

The two types of flounder species are summer flounder and southern flounder. Both these species require a lot of patience when fishing. They love slightly warm temperatures. When it is too cold or too hot, the flounders hide. They feed on the shallow waters at night and hide into the deep waters when the sun comes up. The summer flounder is very aggressive as compared to the southern flounder and fishing it needs more patience.

The speckled trout is one of the best fish species in the world. It is not only a favorite delicacy fish for many but also a great trophy fish especially for fish anglers. It is dark gray with some few blue reflections and spots scattered on the back and sides. On its upper jaw, it has two canine teeth and other small teeth in its mouth. The dorsal fins are different with the larger ones having around ten spines and the smaller ones with one spine.

Redfish fishing is one of the most common fishing activities by anglers in the United States. The large variety of redfish schools give anglers greater chances of finding the bulls they want. The large red bulls are a challenge to catch to the anglers. They are a unique species and like almost all redfish species, they have different defensive weapons to free themselves once they caught. The red fish is a delicacy in almost everywhere all around the globe and is one of the best sport fish in Texas .

Experience nearshore adrenaline infused shark fishing in galveston.

One of the specialties of Galveston Fishing Charters is shark fishing. During the summer months, sharks such as Blacktip, Bull Shark, and Spinner, can be found nearshore of Galveston Bay. Galveston Fishing Charter provides larger reels and rods to hook the sharks, which can be heavy, ranging from 50 to 500 pounds. While shark fishing may seem like a hobby for the experienced angler, it is also entertainment for the family. One of the most exciting sharks, the Spinner, jumps and spins in the air when hooked, which impresses anglers of all ages. Kids enjoy the challenge of catching a shark, seeing a shark up close, and feeling safe while experiencing something exciting. After catching the sharks, the family of anglers can be stewards of the sea by releasing the sharks into the ocean in order to maintain the shark population, which has been overfished by commercial fishermen. Rather than visiting an aquarium and seeing a shark through glass, families can search for sharks on the open ocean, hold the shark and feel its strength, and value the shark’s natural beauty and habitat– a more intimate experience with Galveston wildlife.

Don’t let another week get by you. Book your fishing trip today!

Galveston Fishing Charters has a combined 45 years of experience, our captains love to fish in Galveston and cultivate the same love in others. If you are a beginning angler, we will teach you how to use the equipment, show you successful techniques, create environmental-friendly habits, and educate you on the fish and wildlife of the Galveston Bay system. If you are a veteran angler, we will expand on your fishing skills and knowledge while exposing you to the niches of Galveston Bay fishing to enhance your time on the ocean. For those who want to experience more than fishing, we are there to provide a safe, professional, and fun atmosphere.

  We take immense pride in our professionalism, and the expertise we offer at an affordable cost. Our local services include Bay and Jetty Fishing Charters as well as Offshore Fishing Charters.

  We offer a variety of options for charter fishing trips to select from. Our inshore charters are close to shore or in the bay targeting red fish, white trout, speckled trout, sheep head, black drum and more.

  Booking our Offshore Fishing Charters will take you to fishing grounds further from the dock to open waters. In open water fishing you might hook bull red, shark, Spanish mackerel, king mackerel and if you are lucky the illusive cobia. Fishing for snapper, grouper or other bottom fish will need a bit more travel time but it is well worth it when hook the big one. When everyone is limited out, we will work on filling the box with other offshore fish at the rigs and around the gulf.

If your party includes children, we will give them the chance to take the helm on the way back in.
